[Verse 1]

Asus2
Here by the sea and sand

Nothing ever goes as planned,

                D              E
I just couldn't face going home

              A
It was just a drag on my own.

    Asus2
They finally threw me out

My mother got drunk on stout,

                        D         E
My dad couldn't stand on two feet,

                    A
As he lectured about morality.

                D                E
Now I guess the families complete,        

                    G        D 
With me hanging round on the street

               A
Or here on the beach.

[Verse 2]

C          Esus4
The girl I love

Asus4
Is a perfect dresser,

Fmaj9           Em
Wears every fashion

            D
Gets it to the tee.

C        Esus4   
Heavens above, 

Asus2
I got to match her

    Fmaj9
She knows just how

    Em               D
She wants her man to be

Leave it to me. [Verse 3]

G D A
My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked

G D A
Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck

G D A
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat

G D A
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet.

[Verse 4]

C             Esus4
I see her dancing

Asus2
Across the ballroom

Fmaj9           Em
UV light making starshine

       D
Of her smile.

C         Esus4
I am the face,

Asus2
She has to know me,

    Fmaj9                   Em
I'm dressed up better than anyone

         D
Within a mile.

[Verse 5]

   A
So how come the other tickets look much better?

G D A
Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter.

G D A
How come the girls come on oh so cool

G D A
Yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool?

[Verse 6]

Asus2
Come sleep on the beach

Keep within my reach

                   D
I just want to die with you near

E                  A
I'm feeling so high with you here.

Asus2
I'm wet and I'm cold

But thank God I ain't old

                D
Why didn't I say what I mean?

E                        A
I should have split home at fifteen

                         D                 E
There's a story that the grass is so green,

G          D
What did I see?

             A
Where have I been?

G          D                           A
Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand
